Yesterday was a cruel and ugly
reminder of how the wind can howl here
on the prairie...
which reminds me of blowing snow
which makes me think of all
the work to do
to get ready for
the Winter wind
that will be pounding on our door
in a few weeks!....
sealing up cracks,
more insulation,
digging up bulbs,
fix the roof,
the list is endless
just like all the useless junk laying around....
there's junk accumulating
in every orifice of this farm
and "I NEED A TRUCK!"
to haul it all away...
I saw this beauty out in the Black Hills...
doesn't she just scream
"HEART THROB"
!!!
I dream of her and I hauling junk
for days on end
and having the best time ever...
We would be cruisin' down the road...
I'd be singin' and she'd be hummin'...
We'd become B.F.F's,
Lizzy and I,
on our quest to
clean up this farm!
and when all the junk
was hauled away...
I'd paint her portrait
and hang it on the wall,
for all to remember
the red truck
that prettied the place up!
...Sigh...
Have a super Wednesday!

So much to do around here and I'm feeling like junk myself....

And junk? You have junk, too? Oh, dear, I thought it was just us.
I want to take it to work, and to the grocery store, and on long trips over back roads.
Really wonderful photographs of it. Such a cute little thing!
Thank you so much for sharing this at The Creative Exchange.
Have a wonderful day!

SOME CALL IT RED
“I don’t have time,” my grandfather said,
“to dither around and stand on my head,
pretending that crimson is blue, not red—
just tell me the truth, if you please.
“I’m much too old for being lied to,
so tell me the truth about the rose hue
that colors the sky when the day is through
and adds a bright blush to the trees.
“Some call it red and some call it pink,
some call it strawberry wine-colored ink;
I call it rubicund, that’s what I think—
now leave me alone, if you please.”
